This illustrated 1935 guide for sailors who want to win yacht races provides expert, detailed discussions of how to get the most speed out of the boat. H.A. Calahan, also the author of Learning to Sail, discusses crew and equipment, the start of the race, taking advantage of tides and currents, and tactics and strategy. Here too is a thorough discussion of fundamentals, not usually found in books of this type, and 50 black and white photos, charts, and drawings.
